Chapter 5

Realizing she’d put her foot in it, Phedra quickly clapped a hand over her mouth “Never mind. Now that you’ve married into the Ramirez family, you must play by the rules. Look at yourself. What a mess!”

“She’s got no right to bully you.” Elgin’s lips barely moved. “In all the world, I’m the only one who gets to bully you.”

Letitia’s heart skipped a beat. Even the right to insult her was his alone but no one else’s.
